Rancher Bob Parker, candidate for Congress

The Sikeston Tea party had Bob Parker, candidate for congress as one of it's speakers last week. Parker has spoken at many tea party events across the region in the last few months as well as Republican County Lincoln days events all across the 8th district.

The Lincoln Days event held in Sikeston Missouri had two different candidates for Congressional office attending. One, a 14 year incumbent with a name well know across the district. Emerson. The other candidate, a rancher from Texas County that has been working for years fighting out of control government as a citizen, Bob Parker. The difference is stark.

The Mountain Grove High School Lincoln Days event Saturday evening was packed, as attendees listened to various candidates expound on why they should be considered for office. Bob Parker, Candidate for Congress here in Missouri's 8th District, explained why voters should consider making a change in the August 3rd primary race between him and 14 year incumbent Jo Ann Emerson.

Parker explained, ''The reason I am running is that I don't believe our representative really represents us anymore. She supported the Wall Street Bailout, Cash for Clunkers, earmarks, and taxpayer funded embryonic stem cell research that ends life. She has supported NAFTA and CAFTA that has destroyed our American jobs."

Parker continues, ''I want the voters to know they have a choice this time. I am against the bailouts, Obamacare, and I support term limits in Congress. I am pro life, pro gun, and have run a farm here in Texas county for 33 years. I believe it is time to get back to Constitutionally limited government. We must stop the out of control spending, cut taxes, and cut the regulations that are killing our jobs here in America. Will the good people of Southern Missouri continue to send a big spending bailout incumbent back to Washington again? It's up to the people to choose.''

Parker and Emerson will be facing off in the August 3rd primary election.

I heard him speak at the Sikeston Tea Party. He looks like he is going to run out into the croud and choke someone. He gets so angry! I have talked to several people who say he scares them, and not only politically.

There is a grammatical error in the lead sentence. Can you spot it?

Oh, and there is a grammatical error in the title of the article. Can you spot it?

I heard Parker got kicked out of the Farm Bureau for being a hot head and screaming and yelling and basically being unprofessional.

Doesn't sound like the kind of person we need representing us in Washington, D.C.

samahartman, I am way not a bob or larry fan, but really, do you have to be so uncultured? Sheesh. Why is it that the libs have no taste when they dont have to show their faces?

OK, he talks loud, and there are grammatical errors.

Are you people going to dwell on this irrelevant stuff or maybe you'd like to actually address Emerson's voting record? My guess is that you'll most likely cower in the "croud" like bionicrotor.

As for Bob being angry, well I'm angry too. Everyone in the 8th district should be angry. The difference is, Bob Parker has the courage to stand up and call Emerson out on the issues instead of misleading or outright lying to the people. Our representative has sold us out to the big business, big government crowd and she's leading us down the road to socialism and bankruptcy.

If you value your liberty and the Constitutional freedoms that are an American's birthright, I suggest you start learning more about the issues and stop being led around like so many sheep in the Emerson flock.

Campaigning for Governor of California in 1966, Ronald Reagan stated what has come to be called the 11th Commandment of the GOP: "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."

It would be good for all the minions of the campaigns writing in here to remember that. Likewise, courtesy should be extended to both Republicans for Congress as they campaign around the district. Keep up this bashing and I for one will have to take a long look at Mr. Bill, etc.

oh Uncle Mike, I mean Peter Proud, go ahead and vote for Bob.

but just know that you are throwing away your vote.

I look forward to you supporting Jo Ann when she gets the republican nomination August 3rd.

BTW, Bob was kicked out of Farm Bureau. he didn't "leave".

I want to know what he wants to take America back from?? Funny how the years before a Democrat was in the White House America didn't need to be taken back from whatever it is that it now needs to be taken back...from?

JD420- hit's should be hits and he's missing a comma after "Candidate for Congress". Lord help us if he writes any legislation. Can you imagine the loopholes?

Tea leaves: Bill, Parker, VanD, and Sowers remind us of Democracy. Horse race. Tomorrow starts a spin cycle around the drain to explain water's not wet and "It's just a flesh wound". Bet a Dunklin Donut her campaign cites donors who gave less than $200. Tsk tsk. Apples to apples and all that. I think that she needs to have a release, but I'm not a pro. Thank G*d. With joy, I await the cut and paste of the pack soonest. I hope there was a real discussion in today. It matters. Peace out. Mike Glodo BTW - been on NAIS since '07 and Bob's right.

I counted 20 grammatical or punctuation errors from title through the end of the second paragraph. Then I got bored. I know seventh graders who could have written this more professionally.
